Combining his personal archive of sketches and plans with specially commissioned computer-rendered images, the book offers insight into the mind of this designer. The introduction traces the development of Newson's visual language, inspired by such influences as the architecture of Richard Neutra, Aston Martin sports cars and the films of Stanley Kubrick.
